Planning for your puppy

• So you're thinking of getting a puppy?  ...Now what?! You could spend countless hours googling how to prepare for a new puppy, sifting though over 34 million results, but your time would be better spent talking to a professional who can answer your questions directly and give you a plan for success. This is a 60 minute virtual session where we will discuss what to expect from a pup, what tools and toys you will need to bring the new family member into your home and how to best set them up for success. If you have yet to pick your pup we can provide consultation in choosing the right type of dog with the right temperament for a bespoke fit for your home. $150.
• Perfect Puppy Package: This is a comprehensive puppy package spanning from before your puppy first arrives home through to age 6 months. It includes the pre-puppy consultation detailed above and 6 training session broken into 2 groups of 3. The first group of 3 sessions occurs in the first few weeks of your puppies arrival home and will help you establish and develop structure at home, address the needs of your puppy, and lay the foundation for a well rounded dog. The second group of 3 sessions occurs a few months later as your pup nears 6 months of age and builds obedience, leash manners, and other skills at a time when your pup is most receptive to learning.  $1150.

Board and Train Intensive Program

Like boarding school for your pup, your dog will come to the HustlePups Training Loft to stay with our pack for a consecutive four week program. In addition to walks and play sessions, both solo and with our pups, yours will have a minimum of three private training sessions per day where we will focus on general obedience as well as the specific problem areas defined in your training application. Frequent updates with videos showing their progress along with photos of them having a blast will be sent to you so that you can share in their learning and fun along the way. Between the second and third week we offer an optional scheduled time for you to come have a session with your pup at the Training Loft to see how progress is going, allow us to see you handle your pup, and of course, some time for a quick snuggle. This session isn’t mandatory, but for those who have the time we’re happy to have you!

On completion of the program we will conduct a 1.5 to 3 hour Go Home Session with you and your pup. At this session we will go over your pup's new daily schedule, our mark and reward system and how to use it, how best to walk your dog (including any leash reactivity issues), how to encourage play and confidence with your dog, any specific behavioral traits your dog may have and how to work with them, and lastly any other specific notes we may have about your pup.

Once your dog is back home the work is not over and we are still here for you. To help with the transition to the new way of living with your pup we will have two additional sessions to polish the work we’ve done together and to spot check or develop any behaviors you’d like to see. One session will take place at your home (provided you’re within the five boroughs) and the second at our Training Loft. These session must be used within 90 days of your dogs go home date. We also offer unlimited text support for the first 60 days post pickup.
